The nose wheel collapsed at very low ground speed and the pilots turned the engine off as pre protocol. The Fire Service scrambled as per normal so why are you congratulating all round you as if there had been a major incident with heroics involved? We’re you there?

If the engines where off why are the propellers buckled?

Probably Windmilling

It’s called a job well done. Reacting correctly to any unexpected occurrence deserves a congrats in my book. Doesn’t need to be a scene from Die Hard!

And what about the air traffic controllers? They never get any credit!!

And all those packages in the hold. Congratulations to them for staying calm holding it together!

I see the wits are out in force today…. Or at least half of them.

Peter have you always been so anal or did you just get out of bed on the wrong side this morning.

Except that the nose wheel had nothing to do with the Cork accident and you attempt to link the 2 is somewhat disengenuous. The cork accident was related to weather

He just said it was the same type plane… Yer getting a bit carried away there.

@Vocal Where did he say it was connected. He’s simply stating the model of aircraft involved, which happens to be the same as the aircraft in Cork, clown!

Dear agony ann,I have a Renault megane,same type as he one that was involved with the shooting yesterday.Am I a provo now?

i thought it was a laguna?

It was a Kia Provo.

It was an observation that the same type of aircraft have been involved in incidents at Irish airports in the recent past. The Cork interim report indicates that a fault with one engine was present.

It’s also worth looking at the record of the airline (Bin Air) who operated this aircraft. They were facing an EU no-flight blacklist in 2011. In 2010 one of their other Metroliners also suffered an undercarriage collapse at Stuttgart.

Apparently it was some kind of ‘aircraft’ , white, 2 wings.. just in case you missed any of the details…

I heard it was something to do with the the nose wheel.

Gavin getting in on the banter, I like it!

Lol you’re actually giving out about giving out.

Ha. True!

its moon walking is all

We’re do you get off saying that? Nobody needs correcting on this site, were all ok, none of the previous comments where incorrect…

It tells you in the article no injuries reported. I’m convinced some people read only the headline and head straight to the comments!

And some people don’t read the time of the post. 4hrs ago it wasn’t reported if there were injuries.

*closes door behind you and locks it*

The wheel collapsed on landing…

2 primary runways – 10/28 being the main runway, and 16/34 the secondary runway which intersects with 10/28.

2 physical strips of concrete, but actually 4 individual runways. 10, 16, 28 and 34. Even though only 10/28 is blocked, while the fire and rescue service is dealing with the incident, there is no fire and rescue cover available to deal with a subsequent incident. Hence the need for an airport closure.

What do the numbers on the runways mean 10/28…?

The runway direction in degrees magnetic, rounded to the nearest 10 and the 0 at the end dropped.

It was a Bin Air Cargo flight according to skynews. The airlines wiki page says the EU had threatened to ban the airline previously over safety concerns.

When the feelings gone and you can’t move on….
